Other than the GoDaddy allegations, where they have a stake in making the company to look as bad as possible, I've not see any actual reports yet of exactly what they are doing. But if they are calling and just not making it clear that they are not their hosting provider, but are offering to renew their domains, then while it is maybe a little scummy (aren't most telemarketers anyway? hehe) I don't see fraud in it. But that's just my overpriced nickel's worth -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
